Not to be outdone, Washington has won three straight games period for the first time since a four-game winning streak during Weeks 2-5 of 2008.

Robert Griffin III passed for 163 yards and Alfred Morris rushed for 124, respectively, making the Redskins the first team in NFL history to have a rookie passer with 2,000 yards and a rookie rusher with 1,000 yards in the same season.

RGIII broke another record Monday, setting the NFL record for rushing yards by a rookie quarterback with 714. It was set last year by Carolina's Cam Newton, who ran for 706.

But perhaps the most important result of Monday's win was that Washington is now just one game behind New York for first place in the NFC East. The 'Skins have not won a division championship since 1999, which was also the last time they hosted a playoff game. More skid snaps could be on the way.
